Chapter 56
With this chapter, we reach the end of Volume 1. Our Scooby Team is split up; Bo Jinyan takes his leave in a manner entirely in keeping with his personality (poor Jian Yao), while An Yan’s moment with Gu Fangfang is much more hopeful, and provides some light-hearted humour. It’s a sombre end to Volume 1, but Ding Mo also builds anticipation for the next story arc by possibly indicating who the ‘Big Bad’ might just be . . . .

A thin strip of white gauze covered Bo Jinyan’s eyes.
Sitting by his side, Jian Yao stretched out her hand to touch him, but put it down again.
“Would you like some more porridge?” she asked softly.
“No need,” he said in a mild tone.
Jian Yao nodded, then realised he could not see her. Gently, she eased him back so that he was lying down on the bed.
